A little bit about my gaming background.

Besides playing consoles since the early 80's, I've been playing MMOs for 7 years now starting with Dark Age of Camelot. I then played a crappy little game called Eternal Lands, which was a free to play online. Next I moved to Star Wars Galaxies, then City of Heroes, then Dungeons and Dragons Online, Guild Wars, and finally LOTRO.

In four of the games I was the leader of medium to large and one very large clan/guild/group. Technically I've been playing PVP on and off for 10 years, starting with Starsiege: Tribes. And have successfully lead large groups in each's PVP incarnation. I'm not sure if I would want to lead groups on a regular basis here, as frankly the PVP play has a long way to go before it reaches the standards of previous games, as the possible strategies are pretty lacking, mostly due to the limited size of the map, very few real goals, and the very unbalanced method of power distribution and character creating processes that generate the creeps and freeps. Though this of course could change over time.
